A few times when telemarketers called and asked for me, I seriously considered telling them that I was deceased. But I decided against it because it'd probably start all sorts of confusion, plus I was worried my family would start getting calls from other telemarketers trying to sell them markers and other crap.

God of making the characteristic which becomes dirty sends the hurricane.

It's really weird, I was just watching Lewis Blacks Root of All Evil, and Patton Oswald was talking about blogging, he mentioned Rick Rolling people and went on with it. His closing statement was in a videoblog format when he got in a few words and the video switched to Rick Astley singing, you guessed it, Never Gonna Give You Up. The screen also flashed, YOU'VE BEEN RICK ROLLD. And that was all I could stand to watch.

Try telling them you are " I AM ERECTOR!" . Reply to them with that to everything....in a robot voice. THEY hang up. Or ask them if they want to buy your comuc book collection. Ask if they'll trade new storm windows for a VG condition SGT. FURY and his HOWLING COMMANDOS #3. "Hey...I'm trying to make a deal with you here,man! I'ts Jack Kirby art! " This p**ses them off. If I'm in the mood,I can get real imaginative with telemarketers....I also like to go into my life story on and on and on...discribing my money woes,or the many ways I try to get the sand fleas out of my dog....I tried everything. They're everywhere! The powder stuff don't work. It just makes the fleas crazy....which makes Ted (Ted is my dog's name-hehe-my 13 year old son's name is Eddy,and his brother-my 15 year old-his name is Jed-so I got Ed,Jed,and Ted! ) just scratch's hisself like CRAZY! His back leg goes to thumping THUMP!THUMP!THUMP!THUMP!THUMP! like he's some kinda drummer in a punk band,I gotta yell "DAMMIT! STOP IT TED!!!" ,but I feel bad about it ya know? cuz it's not-

clik!-bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

I like to tell them that they've reached the Smith's or Peterson's MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.

I usually let them do all the talking and then hang up. There was this one Welsh guy, who kept ringing me up and denying all knowledge of doing it and after like ten times or so, I just played Slayer down the phone at full blast!He has NEVER called back!

The jackson sun , a local newspaper, called here continuously to the point it was really pis**** me off. I eventually got rid of them by telling them they could call back once they had a braille version.

My favourite technique is to put on a somewhat stentonial, authoritarian English sounding accent when answering this kind of call. When I answer I always say "HELLO. WHO DO YOU REPRESENT?" which always seems to throw the caller completely.
